Heightened volatility in global supply chains will persist into the future. This has major implications for the construction equipment industry. Based on data from both developed and developing markets, we identify five categories of disruption that are causing component scarcity in the short, medium and long term: geopolitical, structural, environmental, operational and reputational disruptions. For most industry players, geopolitical and structural risks are top of mind.

Concrete is an outstanding building material. It is widely available, economical, hard and durable like stone, and easy to work with – all attractive properties for the construction industry. However, concrete also has its disadvantages. The cement contained in concrete consumes a lot of energy during its production process and emits large amounts of CO2. This, combined with the enormous demand for concrete and the simultaneous low recycling rate, makes concrete less-than-friendly for the environment.

Lower manufacturing costs, more efficient project implementation, and faster completion: The automation of future construction machinery benefits both construction companies and their clients. In bringing the vision of a fully automated construction site to life, Bosch Engineering supports the customer from the very beginning with the development of marketrelevant solutions that ensure sustainable, needs-based automation. In doing so, Bosch Engineering employs an incremental approach encompassing everything from warning assistance functions and partially automated systems that assist the machine operator with specific activities right up to fully automated machinery

Palletization refers to the process of placing goods or materials, either packaged or bulk, onto pallets. The pallet provides a base for the goods and materials, thereby promoting the efficient storage, handling and transport for the combination of goods and the pallet base, referred to collectively as the unit load.

Cloud-native engineering empowers organizations to design and develop scalable, agile, cost-effective applications and run them in dynamic environments such as on-premises or in public, private, or hybrid clouds. A cloud-native application consists of microservices working together in an application that can be scaled easily. These microservices are often packaged in code along with libraries and dependencies to run anywhere. In a cloud-native app, the application code is designed, built, and delivered very differently than it would be for conventional, monolithic apps. Cloud-native engineering enables loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable to be combined with robust automation, allowing engineers to make changes frequently.

The term Internet of Things has become increasingly popular over the last few years, although it has actually existed for a long time, i.e., going back many years. It is probably one of the most talked about technological developments in the construction industry at the moment. But how far away are we from actually using and benefiting from the Internet of Things in construction? How complex is it and what can you do with it? Or perhaps how do you get ready for it if the Internet of Things is to change the industry considerably in the coming years?
